I guess so. I often wonder whether import / export is worth all the hassle but I know a lot of people use it.

Yeah but if people visit github and download 2.1 because they think that's the version they have the changes don't exist there. Should 2.1 in github therefore be removed or the same fix applied.
The changes to site play and preview are in the zip I attached.

With an issue like this affected by an external change ideally we need to fix and announce along with how to fix instructions. But the other issue is this is just like the various YouTube changes over the years - exported LO's don't get fixed by a fixed installation and needs to be fixed for each export or re-exported. The most recent message on the community site forum listed www.nottingham.ac.uk/~cczjrt/sheppard/<http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~cczjrt/sheppard/> as an example not working and I guess that's a case in point Julian?

2.1 was only used during testing. You have to realise that the 2.1 zip is built from master.

But I haven't fixed site yet...

I'm sure we can but I'm not sure what changes there have been in revisions since 2.1 that might impact elsewhere. Tom appears to have pushed the required changes to develop, editor and master but not 2.1 e.g. https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/blob/2.1/modules/xerte/player_html5/rloObject.htm still has the old https://c328740.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com link to the mathjax cdn. The attached zip contains the files I have changed for a few 2.1 installations but I'm not sure if specific revisions have dependencies so probably best for Tom to advise before we share this.

Can we just put the files in a zip so folk can easily patch?

Communicate to various lists?

Hi all
this is likely to crop up quite a bit now I think, as reported again on the community site forums. I know Tom has committed the required changes to the develop, editor and master branches but how do we best help those to want a quick fix rather than performing a full upgrade? As we know there are a lot of people who don't update their installations regularly and don't use github etc.

I think we probably need to announce this kind of issue too e.g. where it's likely to affect lot's of installs.

As far as I can tel the 3 files affected are
\modules\site\play.php
\modules\site\preview.php
\modules\xerte\player_html5\rloObject.htm

but can they just be replaced from the fixed branches without introducing other issues due to dependencies not in place in older installs? Not saying I know of any but assume there could be?

Cheers
Ron
